Eldersfield

Eldersfield is a village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. It stands exactly ten miles east of Ledbury and ten miles north of Gloucester; this fact can be found on a milestone on the side of the B4211 road that runs through Corse Lawn.

The Iron Age fort of Gadbury Camp can be found in the parish, to the east of the village, on a hill overlooking the river valley of the Leadon and Severn. It was surrounded by a single massive rampart, making it a rare "univallate" construction. The camp area is 10 acres, is 100m wide at its widest point and has 400m of ramparts. It was settled during the fourth century BC to first centuries AD, and would have been a place where subsistence and craft goods were redestributed. Finds at the site include an Iron Age statue and Roman coins.
